My guess is the engine ground connection is poor. When you jump it the other vehicle makes a connection through the jump lead. When you go solo there is no ground to make your starter work. Test it by running a jump cable from the battery neg terminal to a good clean spot on the engine. If it fires up then check / clean the battery neg wire to engine terminals. By the way, never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, it will fry the alternator!!
When you turn your key to start
your engine, it just clicks, right? If so, more than likely this is due
to a bad battery. Even though your battery may appear to be fully
charged, it may have a dead cell, or worse. If you get a jump, does the vehicle start? If so, replace your battery.
Possible sources of the problem if the engine does not crank or the relay clicks:
If its a new starter check and see that the wires are hooked up right, could be time for a new starter, or starter relay on the fender well, or the ignition switch is bad.
have same problem, ratan9 solution is pretty junk and I dont know why waste time posting it. After talking to local shop, to "test" the neutral safety switch, try to start in neutral, try to move shifter "farther" into park and turn key, listen to any clicks possible. If moving to neutral starts it you've got a bad switch. All the searching i've done it's either the safety switch, the ignition switch or a short in the harness somewhere
disconnect and clean with baking soda and water solution, cable could be corroded inside, must be replaced, start early sat morning with new cable in hand
